ST3YC Chapter 138

Shrank to a 3-Years-Old Child Chapter 138: Meeting between the Parents of Both Families

Night falls, and the stars twinkle.

The dim streetlights elongated the two slender figures, one tall and one short, making them overlap.

Yu Yu and Fu Sijin walked hand in hand toward where his car was parked.

It was late at night, and Fu Sijin’s first visit ended, so he prepared to go home.

After being subtly nudged twice by her mother, Yu Yu took the opportunity to come out and see Fu Sijin off.

They walked a short distance, less than three minutes, with the air of an eternity.

The main reason is that I’m reluctant to part ways. I just don’t want to separate. I always wish this journey could be longer, even longer, and ideally, it could extend all the way to the end of the world.

“You’re leaving.” Yu Yu held Fu Sijin’s hand, unwilling to let go.

She never knew she was such a clingy person.

“Okay, I’m leaving now.”

As Fu Sijin said this, he showed no intention of letting go of Yu Yu.

The two walked hand in hand to his car. Yu Yu stopped, realizing that she had come all the way. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, Fu Sijin grabbed her wrist.

“Get in the car, I’ll take you home.” He opened the passenger door and gestured for Yu Yu to get in.

“No need, I can walk back by myself.” Yu Yu wanted to refuse, but Fu Sijin forced her in without saying a word.

His movements were very gentle and careful; to say he was “sending” someone in would be a more accurate description than “helping them along.”

“Listen to me, it’s warm in the car, and it’s not safe for a girl like you to go home alone at night.”

It’s just a few steps, how could it be safe or unsafe?

Yu Yu wanted to argue, but Fu Sijin shut her down with one sentence: “If you don’t care about my feelings, you should at least care about our baby.”

Okay, Yu Yu, convinced, shut up.

Seeing her sit obediently and even fasten her seatbelt, Fu Sijin’s lips curled up, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

He deftly closed the car door for Yu Yu, then walked around to the other side and got into the car himself.

“You’re going the wrong way, this isn’t the way home!”

Yu Yu glared at Fu Sijin, wondering what trick this man was up to this time.

“I didn’t make a mistake.” Fu Sijin then pretended to ‘seriously explain’: “You have to drive in the direction of traffic; driving straight ahead would be going the wrong way.”

So he had to take a long detour along the main road to get Yu Yu home.

Knowing his tricks, Yu Yu pursed her lips, revealing a complex expression that was both smiling and angry.

But she still felt sweet inside.

She’s happy to spend more time with the person she likes.

“Our marriage, where do you want to go for your post-honeymoon trip?”

“We haven’t even registered our marriage, and the wedding isn’t even planned yet. How could you be thinking of going to such a faraway place?”

“Are you reminding me to get our marriage certificate soon?” Fu Sijin said with a smile.

“I…I didn’t mean that.” The easily embarrassed Yu Yu blushed immediately.

“This year has been so long, no wonder my little Yu is so eager to marry me.”

“Who…who’s in a hurry? I’m not in a hurry at all.” She was so thoroughly teased that she became angry and embarrassed.

“I was too hasty. At nine o’clock on the morning of the ninth, bring your household registration book, dress nicely, and come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau.” He didn’t want to wait a moment longer.

“Too hasty… um.”

The car stopped, and the ambiguous whispers dissipated in the mingled atmosphere.

Afterwards, Yu Yu leaned back in her chair, panting, her eyes moist as she looked at Fu Sijin, making the man’s Adam’s apple bob involuntarily.

Helpless, Fu Sijin could only reach out and cover her eyes: “Don’t look at me like that, or I won’t be able to hold back.”

His patience also has its limits.

A woman with experience like that could tell what he was implying.

Her fair face instantly turned into a ripe tomato. Frustrated by her repeated defeats, Yu Yu gave Fu Sijin a light tap on the waist until she heard a suppressed gasp, then she let him go with a cold snort.

Every time she’s in front of this bastard, even if she’s easy to anger, she always gets blown up.

Unfortunately, this wicked guy just loves to see her angry, saying it makes her more lively and energetic than her usual gentle self.

“If you tease me again, I’ll pinch you again.”

Pushing open the car door, Yu Yu threatened Fu Sijin in what she considered a very fierce manner before getting out of the car.

Little did she know that in a man’s eyes, this appearance could only be described in two words: cute.

***

It just so happened that everyone was free at the end of the year, and it wasn’t appropriate to delay any longer with the two children, so the two families quickly set a date for the meeting.

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Actually, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year would be fine, but Qingqing didn’t like the sound of that date.

After all, the number four sounds like the word for death, and local customs tend to avoid this.

They agreed to meet at Pinweixuan at 11:00 a.m.

Pinweixuan is a restaurant under Qingqing’s name, specializing in Cantonese dim sum, and is considered a well-known place in the area.

Many people come here because of its reputation and leave satisfied.

Not knowing her future in-laws’ tastes, Qingqing felt that choosing a variety of Cantonese dim sum with a light flavor would be more suitable.

With so many dishes, there are bound to be a few that suit your taste.

It can be said that she prepared for this meeting.

It took a lot of effort.

“You were never this attentive when we got married.”

Seeing his wife constantly busy with their eldest son lately, Fu Heng felt a little jealous.

“That’s different.” Qingqing touched up her makeup in the car. It was their first meeting, and she wanted to make a good impression on her future in-laws.

“Our marriage was a business arrangement. Everything was taken care of perfectly. All we needed to do was have someone show up on the wedding day. We didn’t need to worry about anything else.”

Fu Heng tightened his grip on the steering wheel: “This is not a business marriage.”

The wife’s memory has returned to the time after their marriage.

“Oh, if you say it’s not, then it’s not.”

Qingqing lowered her head and fiddled with the blue jade bracelet on her fair wrist, not bothering to argue with Fu Heng.

Sensing her somewhat cold attitude, but knowing it wasn’t the right time to talk, Fu Heng could only suppress his thoughts and drive the car towards the entrance of Pinweixuan.

They arrived at just the right time, bumping into Yu Yu and her family right at the entrance of the restaurant.

With the help of the younger generation, the two exchanged a few polite greetings before walking together into the private room that had been reserved in advance.

Yu Yu’s parents were a little reserved in front of Qingqing and the others, but their attitude was okay. Qingqing also acted very easygoing. Only Fu Heng looked a little serious.

However, after Qingqing explained to her in-laws with a smile that this was just his personality, everyone stopped caring.

Father Yu, who originally wanted to have a drink with his father-in-law, didn’t dare to be too unrestrained and maintained a refined demeanor throughout.

His serious demeanor almost made Yu Yu think that he was going to take out his calligraphy and paintings on the spot to exchange ideas with Uncle Fu.

Then create a whole new kind of sentiment, like the saying “a gentleman’s friendship is as light as water.”

In comparison, Qingqing and Mother Yu’s conversation was much more lively.

The main reason was that Mother Yu kept looking at Qingqing’s face with envy and asking her for skincare secrets.

The Yu family is considered moderately wealthy. Mother Yu doesn’t lack money for skincare and takes great care of herself.

She looks ten years younger than her peers when she goes out.

Although she was only two or three years older than Qingqing, sitting next to her made her look twenty years older.

If her daughter hadn’t introduced her as Fu Sijin’s mother, she would have mistaken her for Fu Sijin’s older or younger sister.

“If you want it, my dear in-law, I’ll send you a set of skincare products that I use myself later.”

Qingqing’s skincare products aren’t the big brands you buy on the market. Instead, she privately consults a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who specially formulated beauty recipes based on her skin type. These are the kinds of products you can’t buy on the market.

Of course, even if their skin type is different from hers. It won’t cause any harm to people if they use it; at most, the effect will be weakened.

It’s still better than most skincare products.

“How could I possibly accept that?” Mother Yu said, sounding embarrassed, but her eyes were actually full of desire.

Qingqing, of course, wouldn’t be so tactless as to refuse, and still enthusiastically urged her to accept it, and then showed Mother Yu another document.

“These are wedding-related materials I’ve collected these past few days. Let’s give the kids some advice on how to plan the wedding.”

The information was very detailed, including various wedding venues, both luxurious and romantic, as well as a wide variety of wedding dresses and gowns. Even the banquet venues and menus were listed, with dozens of options to choose from.

Mother Yu immediately became interested.

The two women huddled together, chatting animatedly. At one point, they even burst into laughter, making it seem as if they were the ones about to get married.

“Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.” Qingqing got up and left apologetically.

The automatically sensing water flowed gurgling over her fair hands. The person washing her hands seemed to be lost in thought, standing motionless for a long time until she was startled by a hesitant call from behind.

“Qingqing?”

Qingqing subconsciously turned her head and saw Yuan Yuanyuan, dressed in an elegant long dress, standing behind her, looking at her with a surprised expression.

“Yuanyuan?” She was also surprised to run into her friend here.

What are you doing here?

The two blurted it out at the same time, and then laughed at their unspoken understanding.

“I’ve come to meet my eldest son’s future in-laws.”

They exchanged another perfectly synchronized speech, leaving both of them stunned.

They exchanged a glance, and both saw surprise in each other’s eyes.

What a coincidence?

Remembering her previous misunderstanding, Qingqing had a sudden thought and said, “To be honest, I don’t know what your future daughter-in-law looks like. Can I meet her?”

“Of course, you can come back to our private room with me. My kids haven’t seen their favorite Aunt Qing in a long time.” Yuan Yuanyuan readily agreed.

Her children get along well with Qingqing, so now that they’ve run into each other, it’s only natural that the children should come and greet their elder.

Qingqing and Yuan Yuanyuan returned to her private room together and were surprised to find that it was right next to theirs.

Today’s coincidences are truly surprising; should she go buy a lottery ticket or something?

Lost in thought, Yuan Yuanyuan had already pushed open the door to the private room, and the noisy environment inside immediately fell silent.

Upon seeing the scene inside the private room, even Yuan Yuanyuan, who was usually good-tempered, couldn’t help but turn pale and shout angrily, “What are you doing?!”
